Data errors afflict 91 per cent of organisations. The NHS, along with the rest of the public sector, is no exception as many struggle to ensure that their databases are up to date – particularly with correct contact data, such as names, addresses, emails and telephone numbers. Data decay is one of the main causes of poor quality data, with data degrading at three per cent a month, according to Gartner, and roughly 25 per cent a year, as people move home, divorce and pass away.

Moving to hybrid cloud solutions is becoming a common change in business infrastructure for many UK organisations. Having a clear cloud strategy is essential for this change: IT leaders need to consider elements, such as the security and reliability of data, the flexibility of the cloud and scalability. Without it, keeping those workloads up to date, secure, optimised and compliant becomes difficult to achieve. Our Hybrid Cloud Management service is designed to deliver just that. Using our expertise and hybrid cloud monitoring solutions, we can ensure that not only do we "keep the lights on", but we proactively remediate issues before they cause business disruption.

🚀 kanbanana: Your Agile Software Engineering and Delivery Partner. What do we do? ... We are a B2B provider of contract agile software engineering and delivery expertise based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. We work on-site or in a hybrid manner and can travel nationwide for short-term engagements. 🏢 We help SMBs aiming to improve the productivity and predictability of their software development teams. We can help with agile transformations, engineering and delivery processes, software leadership, training, Scrum or Kanban adoption, building effective teams, and more! If we can't help, we'll refer you to someone who can. 👩‍💻 Our technical and experienced consultants work directly with your software teams, engineering leadership and business stakeholders to troubleshoot and solve your engineering and delivery challenges. We can provide hands-on software development support in some languages / frameworks, but we prefer to help you build skills in-house. 🧰 We are framework and language-agnostic. We help you choose the right tool(s) for your context, ensuring the best fit for your needs. 📈 For clients using Atlassian Jira, we provide bespoke analytics software, helping you continuously forecast delivery dates, manage WIP, and track work item aging. We customise this software to fit your unique requirements. 👨‍💻 Oliver, our founder, brings 20 years of software delivery experience across various sectors in the UK and the USA. He is an agile development advocate with a robust background in programming, delivery and engineering management. 🍌 What does 'kanbanana' mean? It's a blend of 'kanban' and 'banana'! Kanban is a visual, pull-based strategy for optimising the flow of value. We use a banana metaphor to symbolise work item age in our software. As items age, they change colour from green to yellow to black, just like bananas. Old bananas aren't necessarily bad - they're perfect for smoothies or banana bread! Similarly, aged tasks can still hold value, but keeping an eye on age is the most effective metric to make your team predictable. 💬 Want to know more about how we can help you?
